Our prediction for this Serie A match:

Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 1-0
Cagliari
Genoa will look to keep their survival hopes alive when they take on Cagliari at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Matchday 34. Alexander Blessin’s troops are on a three-game losing run, but this seems like a good opportunity for the hosts to get back on course. All Sturaro, Vanheusden, Cambiaso, and Rovella are sidelined through injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Sardinians, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Sassuolo, and they managed to get one thanks to Alessandro Deiola’s goal. Cagliari, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and given the importance of Sunday’s game for Genoa, we predict that the visiting side will return to Sardinia empty-handed. Lovato misses out through suspension, while the likes of Nandez, Goldaniga, Strootman, Obert, and Ceppitelli are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Mattia Destro):
Mattia Destro started his youth career at Ascoli, but in 2005 he moved to Inter. The Italian attacker, though, made his debut in the Serie A with Genoa in the 2010/2011 season. He scored 2 goals in 16 appearances for the Rossoblu and at the end of the season he signed a deal with Siena. Destro netted 12 goals for Siena in 30 league appearances for the club and on 30 July, 2012 he joined fellow Serie A team Roma for a fee of €8.5 million.
The Italian footballer made his debut for the capital club on 2 September, 2012 in a 3-1 victory over Inter. Destro scored 24 goals for Roma between 2012 and 2015 and after ending his loan spell with Milan he joined Bologna on 20 August, 2015.
Speaking of his international career, the Bologna forward has 15 caps for Italy U21 and he made his debut for the senior team on 15 August, 2012 against England at Wembley Stadium. He made Italy’s 2014 provisional FIFA World Cup squad, but he eventually failed to make the final roster.
Highlighted Team (Cagliari):
Cagliari are a professional football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. I Rossoblu (The Red and Blues) compete in Italian Serie A and the club’s biggest success came in 1970, when they won the national championship.
Cagliari finished the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of Juventus and it has to be noted that Luigi Riva led Cagliari to their first Serie A trophy.
I Rossoblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Sant’Elia and the capacity of the stadium is 16,000. In the 1993/1994 season Cagliari made it to the UEFA Cup semis, with the team suffering a loss to fellow Italian club Inter in the two-legged tie.
Giuseppe Pancaro helped Cagliari record a 3-2 win over Inter in the first leg, but I Rossoblu were hammered by the Nerazzurri in the second leg (3-0). Palermo are regarded as Cagliari’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the Derby delle Isole.
